Discover the Eco-Friendly Catamaran Experience in Bora Bora

If you’re dreaming about escaping to a tropical island, why not add to your fantasy a floating villa that can offer leisurely cruising around turquoise waters?

Bora Bora-based boat charter company iBestTravel is working on a new addition to their fleet that is “one of a kind” within French Polynesia. This solar-powered and eco-friendly catamaran is designed, “inspired by Polynesian canoes” and the islands’ water lifestyle.

“The ‘house boat’ will be situated in the lagoon of Bora Bora,” iBestTravel mentioned. “Its main purpose is to remain stationary on a mooring and be rented as a villa. However, it can eventually cruise the inner lagoon of Bora Bora with a dedicated captain.”

Everything aboard the 120 sq meters floating bungalow, from propulsion to hot water to equipment, will be powered by solar panels. Consequently, the absence of a diesel engine also means that the catamaran will be low-impact, smoke, and smell-free, making the stay aboard much more enjoyable.

The spacious catamaran can accommodate up to eight guests in its four bedrooms with various arrangements – either for three couples or two couples with children. Other facilities include two fully-equipped bathrooms, a living room with a media station, and a kitchen. Moreover, it features a sundeck providing 360° views of the lagoon, accompanied by a bar and a barbecue setup, ensuring a relaxing and luxurious experience.

The catamaran is in its final stages of construction and will hopefully be ready to host guests in the first quarter of 2021, starting from €1500 a night. For more information, you can find it at iBestTravel’s official website here.
